Event

Over the last half of the 20th century, a steady increase in government and contractual allocations to carceral facilities, such as jails and prisons, has evolved alongside increasing immigrant detention at the federal level. This talk will examine the relationship between prison building, privatization, and the expansion of the immigrant detention system in towns and counties across the United States since 1980.

Hosted by CSERI affiliate Hardeep Dhillon in her course, "A Nation of Immigrants Reconsidered."
